Handmade/Hand Painted Pottery Mug - Lemons

Wrap your fingers around a little cup of calm. This petite ceramic mug is handmade in Christchurch each one shaped, painted, and glazed by hand so no two are exactly the same. Measuring approximately 8.5 cm tall by 8 cm wide (excluding handle), it’s the perfect size for a cozy brew just enough for a gentle latte, a warming tea, or a slow-sip cocoa.

Each mug features a unique hand-painted design, lovingly brushed on by hand. That little flourish, swirl or floral detail is more than decoration it’s a small piece of story, personality and craft. The glaze is smooth to the touch, glossy but soft under gentle light, catching subtle espresso reflections or tea-light flicker if you choose to repurpose it as a tiny vase or candle holder.

It’s ideal for someone who treasures imperfection: the slight irregularities, the soft curve of the lip, the tiny brush-stroke nuance they remind you it was made by human hands, not machines. A simple, modest vessel that feels alive, warm and individual.

Whether given as a thoughtful gift  for the friend who savours slow mornings or the parent who loves a quiet moment or used daily as a little ritual of pause, this mug becomes more than pottery. It becomes a tiny ritual of home.
